Quantum Surgical is actively preparing to launch in Europe Epione®, a unique robotic platform designed to assist the physician in performing safer and more efficient percutaneous thermal ablations in the liver (a minimally invasive treatment in which a needle is inserted through the skin to the malignancies to burn them).

“We are honored and delighted to expand our SAB with the appointment of Professor Thierry de Baere, who took part in our first clinical study in which 21 patients were successfully treated in France,” declares Bertin Nahum, CEO, and co-founder of Quantum Surgical. “We will continue to benefit from precious advice provided by these internationally renowned physicians to develop clinical adoption in the European and American markets.”
